LYRICS:


(1)
VERSE:
In sleep he sang to me, in dreams he came
That voice which calls to me and speaks my name

PRE CHORUS:
And do I dream again? For now I find

CHORUS:
The Phantom of the Opera is there inside my mind



(2)
VERSE:
Sing once again with me our strange duet
My power over you grows stronger yet

PRE CHORUS:
And though you turn from me to glance behind

CHORUS:
The Phantom of the Opera is there inside your mind



(3)
VERSE:
Those who have seen your face draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear, it's me they hear

PRE CHORUS:
Your spirit and my voice in one combined

CHORUS/OUTRO:
The Phantom of the Opera is there inside my mind

The Phantom of the Opera
The Phantom of the Opera
